I recently had an opportunity to talk to Judge Phillip Journey, a very busy man who doesn’t seem to be capable of turning down an opportunity to fight for good.

Apparently everything is just peachy at the National Rifle Association and this entire kerfuffle was a plot cooked up by the organization’s enemies in the anti-gun community and the media (but we repeat ourselves). Oh, and all of you malcontent members are — knowingly or not — only doing the bidding of Michael Bloomberg and … Read more
